[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the afternoon of the 11th, KBS's 'Once Again' depicted Lee Chohee and Lee Sangyi being startled upon realizing they are in-laws.

In the broadcast, Song Dahee (Lee Chohee) went to work part-time at Choi Yoonjung's (Kim Boyeon) cafe and was surprised to meet Yoon Jaeseok (Lee Sangyi). She was also flustered upon seeing her sister Song Nahee (Lee Minjung) and brother-in-law Yoon Kyujin (Lee Sangyeop) who happened to visit the cafe. Song Nahee was also shocked to see her younger sister Song Dahee at her mother-in-law's cafe, and Yoon Jaeseok was startled to learn that Song Dahee is Song Nahee's biological sister.

Song Nahee told Song Dahee, "Quit working part-time at this cafe," but Song Dahee asked, "Why not?" Song Nahee expressed displeasure, saying, "You could find out more, so why here of all places?" When Song Nahee said, "Don't you think about how uncomfortable I feel?" Song Dahee persuaded her sister, "I will work without causing discomfort. I know what you're worried about, but I will be diligent without giving anyone a reason to criticize." She added, "The academy and home are close by, and the hourly wage is much better than other places," and said, "Mom has already given her permission."

When Song Nahee was surprised by the mention of their mother's approval, Song Dahee pleaded, "So please be cool about it too." However, Song Nahee said, "Just your being here bothers me," and firmly opposed, "Anyway, don't do it. If you really have nothing else to do, I'll pay for your academy fees, so just focus on studying."

But Song Dahee was hurt by Song Nahee's offer to pay and said, "You really have a talent for draining my energy. Don't you know why I'm trying to study late and work part-time?" expressing her disappointment.

Meanwhile, Choi Yoonjung expressed dissatisfaction with Yoon Jaeseok for not contacting her immediately after returning to Korea. Yoon Kyujin, who knew this but did not say anything, also had to listen to Choi Yoonjung's resentment. Choi Yoonjung angrily said, "You deceived your mother," and Yoon Kyujin calmed her by saying, "That's an exaggeration." Yoon Jaeseok also said, "I wouldn't have hidden it forever. I was just enjoying some freedom and planned to show up suddenly," which further provoked Choi Yoonjung's anger.

Song Dahee, upon learning that Yoon Jaeseok is her in-law, felt troubled about the time she drank and acted out at a street stall. Yoon Jaeseok also said, "No wonder you looked familiar," and happily remarked, "What an interesting connection." While Yoon Jaeseok was thinking about Song Dahee in his room, Choi Yoonjung suddenly barged in and asked what they would eat for dinner, complaining in a half-joking way, "After years, you make me prepare a meal without any notice."

When Kang Choyeon (Lee Jung-eun) said she would quit the bar, Lee Juri (Kim Sora) and Kim Gayun (Song Daeun) said, "That's so sudden," and "Are you sick?" expressing disbelief. But Kang Choyeon seriously said, "I'm tired of selling water. The smell of alcohol and the nasal voice when calling 'oppa' annoy me," and declared, "I'm going to quit this and try another business. Something ordinary." She then told Lee Juri and Kim Gayun, "Go your separate ways," but Lee Juri and Kim Gayun firmly said, "We'll go with you till the end."

Song Nahee told her mother Jang Okbun (Cha Hwayeon), "Are you going to let Dahee work at her mother-in-law's cafe? You know her personality," but Jang Okbun replied nonchalantly, "They've already talked it over. Just leave it be."

While working part-time at the cafe, Song Dahee met Yoon Jaeseok again, who had come looking for his mother. Yoon Jaeseok said, "You must have been very surprised to find out I'm your in-law," but Song Dahee pretended not to know. Yoon Jaeseok said in disbelief, "No matter how drunk you were, you can't not remember me," but Song Dahee insisted she didn't know until the end.

Song Nahee decided to go with Yoon Kyujin when Jang Okbun said she had prepared baeksuk (boiled chicken) and invited them to eat. The mother-in-law, full of love for her son-in-law, warmly welcomed Yoon Kyujin. Song Nahee and Yoon Kyujin pretended to be a happily married couple in front of the family, but Song Gahi (Oh Yoona) sensed something strange.

Song Nahee asked her brother Song Junseon (Oh Daehwan), who came with walnut cookies, "How much?" When Song Junseon feigned ignorance with "Huh?" she asked again, "You came to talk about money, right? How much?" Song Junseon answered, "2,000. If not, at least 1,000," and Song Nahee said, "The economy is bad these days. I don't have money either. I have expenses coming up soon."

Unable to borrow money from Song Nahee, Song Junseon explained his situation to Yoon Kyujin in the hallway. Yoon Kyujin understood, saying, "You want to start a business, right?" and said, "I can lend you about 800, but keep it a secret from Nahee."

KBS2 drama 'Once Again' airs every Saturday and Sunday at 7:55 PM.
